Vin Diesel’s plans for Fast & Furious 11 face challenges as studio concerns over the franchise’s performance and budget demands grow.
Vin Diesel may be overly optimistic about ‘Fast & Furious 11’ hitting theaters in 2025, but his grand vision for the mega-budget film could be in jeopardy, as studio executives are reconsidering their spending strategy on a franchise that might be running low on fuel.
Vin Diesel’s Optimism Meets Reality
Following the disappointing performance of ‘Fast X’ in 2023, Vin Diesel’s usual clout in Hollywood is starting to fade, and insiders suggest he’s becoming overconfident about the green light he anticipates for the next movie.
“Vin can blame the pandemic on Fast 9 not doing a series-best box office. But the marked underperformance of Fast X is totally on him, and it’s why getting the giant budget he wants for the next movie has been an uphill battle,” an insider said.
